CHEMISTRY OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND PER CAPITA EMISSION OF GREEN HOUSE GASES:A REVIEW
Keywords:
Climate change, per capita emission, carbon dioxide,, green house gasesAbstract
Global warming ismost familiar word of this century. For almost all of 4.5 billion years, natural forces have shaped Earth’s environment. But, during the past century, as a result of the Industrial Revolution, which has had enormous benefits for humans, the effects of human activities have become the main driver for climate change. Earth’s atmosphere ischanging. The current composition of Earth’satmosphere is mostly nitrogen and oxygen.It also contains water droplets, fine particles,argon, and very small amounts of carbondioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX),methane, and other gases. Most of thesesubstanceshave been present in the atmosphere for millions of years and come fromnatural sources like volcanoes, forest fires,plants, animals, and decaying organic matter. But intoday’s atmosphere, theamount of some of these substances is muchhigher than it was hundreds of years ago dueto pollution from our industrial revolution.In this paper we reviewed different pollution causing per capita emissions from day to day activities and suggested measures to control per capita emissions.
